CSA - time to sign up!
No, not the Confederate States of America (great movie, though). Community-supported agriculture. All over the country, there are local farms that grow a TON of veggies during the summer. These farms sell shares of their produce to people living in cities or towns nearby. Typically, you can buy a whole share or a half share. A whole share usually provides veggies, fruit, and sometimes herbs, for a family of four non-vegetarians or two vegetarians. A half share is, yes, half of that amount (though it's hard to split watermelons and such, so often a half share is slightly more than half of a whole). The time of production can be from May to October or even November.
To find a farm offering CSA near you, go to http://www.localharvest.org/. I'm getting a share, so look for lots of fruit and veggie blogging this summer!

I immediately tried to see if they had any in this charming capital city town. (capitol? capital? i think the latter). None here, but a great farmer's market. Oh well.
